Take-a-break paint fresh bags

ABSTRACT

This invention is a new method of use for a plastic bag. The bag is used to cover a paint laden paint brush, paint roller cover, paint pad, or other paint application tool, to keep it from drying out during a short break or overnight, eliminating the need to wash out the tool until completion. The appropriately sized clear plastic bag has an integral adhesive strip or zipper style closure at its opening used to seal the bag closed. The bag is removed when painting resumes and either used again later that same day or discarded.

This invention is to be used by those that paint, such as a paintingcontractor or home owner. The purpose of the invention is to preventpaint from drying on the brush or roller or any tool used for paintingas described within, when it will not be used for a period of time inwhich paint would typically dry out, such as during an extended break.This eliminates the need to wash out the tool. Prior art does not existthat uses a plastic bag for this purpose, though a firm plasticpre-formed hinged container is available for paint roller covers only.However, the hinged container is more costly to use and would requirewashing to use it over and over. The Take-a-break bag could be used morethan once if desired, or discarded after each use.
